Larry, nothing specific yet, but here are some good Hitachi sym-cures: http://wa6ati.com/Hitachi.htm Also, a lot of mentions of poor solder on 9V regulators and elsewhere. Resolder!But I assume if the shutdown is preceded by a very bright screen, it may be the ABL triggering the SD as a normal function.Is the excess bright raster grey scaled,another words all CRTs balanced? If not, one of the three could be shorting,hence pulling one anode at a time could narrow it down. Since you were just in it, look closely for any plug assys slightly loose and not seated good,etc.Will check further. Phil Phil Bader, Pres.
